Description:
The Beatles monument in Yekaterinburg, dedicated to the outstanding Liverpool band, was erected in 2009 and became the first in Russia. It is located on the bank of Iseti, near the bridge, next to the monument to the keyboard.
The monument depicts the silhouettes of the famous four, made of cast iron and standing on a black granite base against the background of a specially built orange brick wall. There is an inscription in English, a legendary phrase about love from their song.
The grand opening of the monument was attended by invited guests of honor – the group The Quarrymen. Funds for the implementation of Vadim Okladnikov’s project were collected by enthusiasts, members of the Beatles Club of the Urals.
